The Mucky Duck on Captiva made Southern Living’s list of “The 18 Best Beach Bars In The South.”

According to the March article, the top beach bars were picked by the editors of the magazine who report, research and visit resorts across the South.

In regards to the island venue, Southern Living reported:

“Everything about this tiny pub on Captiva Island is surprising. In the 1970s when two entrepreneurs bought it, it was set to become a rental home. Somehow plans changed and the Mucky Duck, a British-inspired pub was born. The spot is known for its menu that combines a bit of everything — fried seafood platters you’d expect from a place on the water, favorite appetizers you’d expect from a pub, and even a few white-tablecloth additions like duck a l’orange. This spot is known for its sunset views so grab a table early.”

Others based in Florida to make the list included:

– Flora-Bama in Perdido Key

– Aruba Beach Café in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea

– Square Grouper in Jupiter
